Although Jake laughed about upgrading from Vienna, he also insisted he has no hard feelings about their bitter breakup. “I hear she’s doing really well and I think that’s awesome. She chopped all of her hair off. We have not spoken since the breakup special but I kind of keep track of her a little bit through Twitter and it seems like she’s doing great and I wish the best. It was kind of ugly there at first and then it became amicable.”
But with Jake’s new girlfriend saying she’s an upgrade from Vienna, OK! thinks maybe that could change!
